  1. As usual some very awesome cards. I like the vellum cards; they really make the card unusual and great at the same time. I really need to step out of my comfort zone and try to make one of these.

  2. Jennifer, Thank you for sharing so many vellum ideas! Many of us sway away from velum because we’re intimidated. You have showed us that vellum can be our friend in making these beautiful cards!

  3. Thank you for sharing your vellum designs. I really love the softness vellum adds to the cards. Can’t wait to try!

  4. Love these projects. I tried one with the vellum I have and now realize “heavyweight” vellum is so much better!

  5. You are so creatively inspiring, Jennifer!! Altenew is always coming out with unique products for us to play with! LOVE the new release!! That $$ tree better start producing fast!!

  6. Your cards are always so creative, and lovely. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent. Altenew products are so fun. I love their bundles that have the stencils for coloring in the images.

  7. Dear Jennifer – As usual, you have done a superb job of showcasing new products and a great technique. I never have made a card using vellum as the base. I’ll try it when I get the time and will probably come back and rewatch this video. Love your work and your longer videos. The thorough engineer in you who explains all the moving parts step by step is SO helpful!

  9. Lovely designs Jennifer. These ensembles surely offer plenty of possibilities. Thanks for the inspiration!

  10. Ooohhh those are pretty amaxing cards. Especially the ones with the flowers. 😍
    Can’t wait to try these techniques myself.

  11. Always love your creations. This one is no exception. With no collaborative crafty activity in my city I enjoy the chance to see things online. Keep it up. Cheers

  12. I always say you are the best teacher and you are. Thank you for sharing your time and talents. I could make any of these cards after watching the way you make them. Lovely.

  13. Thank you for the lovely card ideas with the new Altenew products. Really looking forward to participating in the virtual retreat in May.

  14. Really happy to see the Vertical Greetings and I love the Archway die set – great cards, as always!

  15. Absolutely love these new cards….all if them. I have the vellum and am ready to start working.

  16. Thanks for sharing your amazing creativity and talent! I especially like the abstract shapes card for a step away from my hoard of flowers!

  17. Thanks for sharing the techniques for vellum! I’ve watched many people do the stained glass technique and I find it . . . not so stained glassy! You’ve told me the real secret– the tapping of the color and I love the outline die cuts on top after the coloring!! I’ll be trying this myself.

  18. Thanks for sharing different ways on using vellum. I love the shaker card was my favorite, with oriental feel. Just love the different techniques. I think give it a try in the near future.

  19. The vellum cards are elegant yet clean and simple! Love how you incorporated this technique with your design. Thanks for the ideas and sharing.

  20. Love these vellum techniques! I’ve tried making vellum card bases before but the results were disappointing — guess I need to get some heavy-weight vellum. While I love everything in this release, I think I may be most excited about the Vertical Greetings dies!

    I’m looking at my vellum in a whole new light.

  25. Hi Jennifer,
    I love all the amazing ways you have used vellum on these cards. They are so pretty. Thanks for making the video to show what to do. I have always had problems working with velum and I think I can do it now.
